Mailmessage message = new mailmessage()
A classic!
MailMessage
is a class in the.NET Framework that represents an email message. It's used to create and manipulate email messages that can be sent using the SmtpClient
class.
When you create a new instance of MailMessage
like this:
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
You're creating an empty email message object. This object has several properties and methods that allow you to set various attributes of the email message, such as:
Subject
: the subject line of the emailBody
: the body of the email (text or HTML)From
: the sender's email addressTo
: the recipient's email addressCC
: the carbon copy recipients' email addressesBcc
: the blind carbon copy recipients' email addressesAttachments
: an array of file attachments to be sent with the email
You can then set these properties and add attachments using various methods, such as:
message.Subject = "Hello World";
message.Body = "This is a test email";
message.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
message.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
message.Attachments.Add(new Attachment("path/to/file.txt"));
Once you've set up the email message, you can use the SmtpClient
class to send it to the recipient's email server.
Here's a simple example:
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Send(message);
Of course, this is just a basic example, and you'll likely need to add more configuration and error handling depending on your specific use case.
